ZOOLOOK is back with a new story arc from Dread & Alive… Nine Night!
From the creative mind of award-winning mixed-media artist ZOOLOOK comes
the next story arc in the supernatural horror graphic novel series,
Dread & Alive.
ZOOLOOK presents Nine Night, a 12 chapter series that explores a world
steeped in West African spirituality. In Nine Night, spirits exist, and
they’re everywhere. They live in our world, the land of the dead, and
they are feared.
Nine Night is the prequel to issue #1 of Dread & Alive (Concrete Jungle)
published on February 6, 2010. In this 12-issue maxi-series, Nine Night
(aka the ‘dead yard’ or ‘set up’), the funerary tradition or wake in
Jamaica takes on a whole new meaning when Shadowcatcher descends upon
The City, seeking divine retribution. The shapeshifting Obeahman has
come to take back his amulet while seeking a bigger prize, the soul of
Drew McIntosh.
“I crave horror films! In writing and developing Dread & Alive, it was
essential to show how zombies are rooted in black culture. In reggae, we
sing about duppies, vampires, and zombies. Popular culture has erased
the African contribution to zombies. I want to give our history and
beliefs the respect and credit it deserves.” — ZOOLOOK
In Dread & Alive: Nine Night, it’s War Inna Babylon as Drew McIntosh,
and Shadowcatcher set to clash in an apocalyptic battle between good and evil. Drew must protect the amulet and survive Nine Night or be doomed
to walk the earth as a duppy.
Nine Night will publish as a maxi-series (twelve chapter issues) through
ComiXstand, an imprint of ZOOLOOK. Each graphic novel will include a
wrap-around cover art penciled and inked by Rodney Buchemi and colored
by Michael Kelleher. The Nine Night series will also feature an
exclusive reggae soundtrack with each issue, including music from
ZOOLOOK.
Dread & Alive: Nine Night, issue 1 titled Hide Your Soul, part 1, goes
on sale February 17, 2021.
Dread & Alive: Nine Night is available now for pre-order at
dreadandalive.com and iriemag.com.
